After waiting for about ten minutes without any croakers biting the hook, Bai Yu decisively reeled in his fishing rod.
Let's put down our fishing for now, take a good rest, and come back to fishing when we're fully refreshed.
However, the timing of Bai Yu's fishing reeling in is a bit awkward; it's not quite 10 o'clock, which is neither too early nor too late.
Breakfast was already an hour or two ago, and lunch won't start until noon.
Moreover, in order to ensure that he can eat more at lunchtime and avoid going hungry in the afternoon, he can't even eat too many snacks now.
Especially puffed foods, these things not only fill your stomach, but also require you to drink a lot of water because they are relatively dry.
In that case, even if you're not full from eating, you'll still be full from drinking.
Since he planned to take a break and there was nothing to eat, Bai Yu simply put his fishing rod on the deck and left his fishing spot.
Although he doesn't have much to do right now, he won't be bored. He can go watch other people fishing.
He wasn't alone on the fishing boat; there were sixteen other contestants besides him.
For a fisherman, even if he can't fish himself, watching others fish is a very happy thing.
This is a very common sight in various rivers and wild fishing spots: a fisherman sits by the river fishing, surrounded by a group of idle men watching him fish.
If the angler doesn't catch a single fish after half a day, the crowd will disperse quickly. However, if the angler is lucky with the fish...
The outcome would be quite different; the number of onlookers would not decrease, and it might even attract more people to watch.
Before long, the number of anglers at the fishing spot will change, from a few individual anglers to a group of anglers fishing.
Bai Yu held a chicken foot in his hand. He first strolled around the bow of the boat, and after seeing that the other contestants at the bow had not caught any fish, he walked towards the stern.
He had just walked from the bow to the stern when he saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Li, what a coincidence, you're watching others fish too."
Brother Li, the captain of Yu Xue Twenty-Three, was also recruited to their company by Bai Yu.
"Mr. Bai, I just had nothing to do, so I came out to watch the contestants fishing."
Why aren't you fishing? You guys are having a competition right now, you can't waste this time! Fishing a little longer might really improve your score!"
Brother Li briefly explained his situation, and then asked a question in return.
"I've been fishing for several hours, and my arm is sore from pulling the rod so much. I'm just going to rest for a bit before continuing to fish."
"Wow, if Mr. Bai's arm is sore from casting the rod, then it seems that Mr. Bai had a pretty good haul this morning. I must congratulate Mr. Bai on achieving such a great result on the first day of the competition."
"Hey, Brother Li, what you're saying sounds a bit like flattery. The first day of the competition isn't over yet. We still have plenty of time to continue fishing today. Until the competition ends, everything is still uncertain."
"Then Mr. Bai is fine too. We know how lucky you are, and we have confidence in you."
"Okay, let's do it your way. I'm confident in myself, and I must get a good result today!"
Then Bai Yu and Brother Li stood side by side, behind one of the contestants, watching him fish.
Of course, they didn't just watch one person. They would watch whoever caught a fish, and if no one did, they would just pick any fisherman and stand behind them without doing anything.
For many anglers, time flies when they're fishing.
The same was true for those watching from the sidelines; time flew by.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Bai Yu was about to return to his fishing spot, Li Ge's walkie-talkie rang.
"Brother Li, what's wrong? What's that on the walkie-talkie? Why is it so noisy?"
Although Bai Yu was standing right next to Brother Li, his attention wasn't on the walkie-talkie, and the noise inside was a bit too loud, so he couldn't hear what was being said.
"It's nothing serious. Captain No. 69 sent a message saying that a monkey boat has appeared on their sea. He said the boat looks a bit strange and we should all be more careful."
Brother Li spoke casually, completely disregarding the monkey-shaped ship that had appeared.
It's not that Brother Li is arrogant or looks down on Monkey's ships; it's just that the disparity in strength between the two sides is currently too great.
You should know that they have more than a hundred ships on their side, including some large ships that are seventy or eighty meters long. With all these ships together, let alone if Monkey's side only sends a fishing boat, or even if they send a warship, Brother Li and his men wouldn't care.
After all, Bai Yu is currently in our own waters, so there's absolutely no problem with them appearing here. On the contrary, it's Monkey and his group that would be considered illegal border crossing.
"The monkeys are here? Brother Li, didn't you guys prepare anything nice for them? We can't let them come all this way for nothing."
Bai Yu had never liked monkeys, and whenever she encountered one, she would always treat it with 'good hospitality'.
"President Bai, you can rest assured. We have a plan for dealing with the monkey's boats. After all, we are an ancient civilization, and we should follow etiquette in everything we do."
"General Manager Liu said that we encountered some unruly boats at sea. We'll try to drive them away with words first, but if they don't listen, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
Brother Li spoke so casually, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
However, the content of what they said wasn't very friendly, at least not to the monkeys.
When Bai Yu heard that the arrangement was made by his uncle, he simply nodded and did not make any further arrangements.
Since the task of scheduling and arranging the fishing boats had already been handed over to his uncle, Bai Yu naturally wouldn't interfere.
Moreover, there's nothing wrong with my uncle's arrangement; our family always makes sure there's a legitimate reason for everything we do.
We should first give them a taste of what's good; if they don't listen to our advice, then we'll have to take drastic measures.
